Star Trek at 50 - Food Replicators

In history, most people prepared food for themselves. The rich and powerful had servants who made food for them. Then restaurants appeared, making the food for whomever could afford it. With a pocketful of nickles you could visit the automat, the original fast food restaurant where simple foods and drink were served by vending machines. The arrival of fast food served over the counter and with more payment flexibility than nickles came next and never looked back.

What could be easier, you say? How about printing your meal?

This week, a look at fast(er) food.

TTFN, Fred.

Star Trek at 50 - Holodeck

There are times when we want to disappear into the mists and emerse ourselves in something, anything, besides reality. A good book, a movie, a game...the list is endless.

This week, a look at emerging yourself into that other reality.
